Top Philadelphia Zoo Hotel Reviews

The Windsor Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The view was very lovely especially with the balcony, and the room was clean and tidy. It is spacious! The hotel is also a short walk from so many places and restaurants."

Element by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

8/10 Good

"I would have given this hotel a 5 star review if it were not for housekeeping. Everyone we interacted with was great. Our room was lovely and had amazing views of the city. The gym was nice, the breakfast was good and I appreciated the evening happy hour. The woman who was pouring the drinks was very engaging and awesome. I understand that housekeeping only comes every other day and that was explained ahead of time and we were good with that. However, we had 4 people registered to our room and only had 3 bath towels. The front desk was great about getting us some extra towels. However when housekeeping did clean our room they did not restock anything so we ran out of toilet paper and lotion and the last day that they cleaned our room we were still only given 3 bath towels and no hand towels. I called down to the front desk for a few towels and a lotion and the person was very kind and apologetic but nothing was ever delivered. Leaving the 4 of us 3 towels and a washcloth to shower with in our last morning. This did not ruin our experience as a whole but it was an unwelcomed inconvenience and it was throughout our entire stay which was frustrating."

Aloft by Marriott Philadelphia Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay"

Loews Philadelphia Hotel

8/10 Good

"The location was excellent for doing tourist stuff. The staff was very attentive. The only gripes I have are that the AC in the room didn't seem to work properly. It was always stuffy when we came back to our room. There was no fan in the bathroom, which causes it to be very steamy and humid in the bathroom after showers. Lastly, the elevators took forever. There were only 3 working. Overall, though, it was lovely."

4211 Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Huge suite , spotless , amazing price."

Sheraton Philadelphia University City Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Access to the Lounge made the stay very simple."

Storehouse Lofts

10/10 Excellent

"Super convenient area with a aldis walking distance . Free on site parking was awesome for this city . Parking garage is open to the public and very dark so that was a little sketchy . But the room was awesome"

3-Story Philly Townhouse 2 Mi to University City!

10/10 Excellent

"The inside of the home was amazingly great. I did learn a new word from my son regarding the neighborhood though, gentrification. We arrived after dark and the neighborhood/ Street seemed a little scary. We met Steve, the neighbor, and got to know him over our 3 night stay. His presence probably keeps the street safe. There is a police station across the way as well. We did walk to the university, the grocery, the bagel store and the donut shop and felt safe. Just saying don't judge the place by the first impression as you approach."

BrotherlyLove—Charming 2-bedroom house with WiFi, AC in lovely Philadelphia

10/10 Excellent

"Nice clean place made for a pleasant stay! It had enough room and amenities for what we needed. It was in a rough inner city neighborhood but the place was very nice. However we tried using the oven a couple times and it didn’t reach a temp over 200 degrees. The stove was nice and used it with no issues and we were able to cook. The front steps need a hand rail as we had some trouble getting up and down the stairs. But other than that we loved it and was perfect for what we needed with our 2 kids. Parking was a little difficult with it being only street parking but we managed to get a spot not too far away."
